Consumer protection in Bangladesh is primarily governed by the Consumer Rights Protection Act, 2009. This Act aims to safeguard consumers' interests and provide mechanisms for addressing grievances. The Act established the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection, which is responsible for implementing consumer protection measures. Key provisions of the Act include prohibitions on unfair trade practices, false advertising, and the sale of counterfeit or substandard products. The Act provides for the establishment of consumer courts at the district level to address consumer complaints. Consumers can file complaints directly with these courts or through consumer associations. The Act prescribes penalties for various offenses, including fines and imprisonment. In addition to the Consumer Rights Protection Act, other laws such as the Food Safety Act, 2013 and the Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution Ordinance, 1985 also contribute to the consumer protection framework. The Competition Act, 2012 aims to prevent anti-competitive practices that can harm consumer interests. Despite these legal provisions, challenges remain in effective implementation and consumer awareness. The e-commerce sector, which has seen rapid growth in Bangladesh, presents new challenges for consumer protection. Recent initiatives include the development of digital platforms for filing consumer complaints and increased efforts to raise public awareness about consumer rights. The Bangladesh Food Safety Authority, established under the Food Safety Act, 2013, plays a crucial role in ensuring food safety and protecting consumers from adulterated or unsafe food products.
